Cooking with Walsingham

[Fenghuang]

Wals' SPAM recipes in the SPAM thread have made me hungry and I am curious as to what he can do with real food.

 

Therefore without asking him ahead of time I have created this thread so he can share his cooking expertise with us.

 

Hopefully he knows how to cook with meat that doesn't come in a tin.

[Walsingham]

Firstly meat should be cooked simply and be utterly delicious when eaten on its own with a large knife.

 

Two recipes for doing this are:

 

Chicken. Poke holes in its skin, and stuff garlic butter in the holes, dust lightly with carroway seeds, place chicken in large deep roasting tin, fill base of tin with leftover red wine from some party or other. Cover with tinfoil. Roast. Eat.

 

Shoulder of Lamb. Take _DARK_ (not sweet marmalade) and spread all over the lamb. Put in roasting tin. Roast. Serve with roasted carrots baked in the juice at the bottom of the tin. And big knives.

[Fenghuang]

Do the big knives enhance the flavor?

[Pidesco]

This thing with the knives is silly.

 

Everyone knows meat tastes better when eaten with your bare hands. Especially if you have a hot chick to lick your fingers clean at regular intervals.

^^ Tr00 dat.

Especially if you have a hot dude to lick your fingers clean at regular intervals.

 

Fixed.

The simplest appetising dish I can think of would be soup. First you're going to want to set some finely chopped onions frying gently in a pan with only a little oil. While these are softening, crush a clove or two of garlic and sling these in. Next cube up about half your tin of SPAM and toss that into the oil on a high heat. If you have any paprika add it now. Once all this is fried up reasonably crunchy pour in a bunch of red lentils and some stock (lamb stock works best). Add a half teaspoon of peanut butter and stir. Simmer, while adding water and stirring until you have a thick soup - about half an hour.

I really have to try this one some day

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I feel particularly brave that is...

[theslug]

man English people are mad crzy, putting peanut butter in soup. What a travesty.

How about liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti?

Is the liver human or other?

It really is tasty.

And the British have a reputation for poor food. "

[Walsingham]

I'll have you know the basic recipe for the soup is Italian.

 

Finger licking by other people? Crikey.

[metadigital]

^^ Scottish Protestant Puritan.

 

Also, no Italian would ever cook with Spam. They would eat scorpion poop first.

[Pidesco]

You should try it.

 

 

British food is, indeed, pretty awful, as is most northern European food.

[Walsingham]

The italians use pancetta. SPAM works nearly as well, and these chaps were looking for SPAM recipes. Anyway, this is now other recipes, so my digitalised colleague, have you any?

[metadigital]

Yes.

[samm]

When I read the title, I thoght of this: Cooking with goths well, but since it's about spam, I mean, SPAM, I'll leave the thread to do something useful. Cooking, for example.

Is the liver human or other?

Good question. What shall it be WalshY?

If the state of my own liver is anything to go by, I'd stick to animal.

Ah, hard drinker eh?

Had to be to get to sleep the last few weeks

[metadigital]

Alcohol induces a depressed comatose state which is not sleep. So even though one passes out, one does not get any sleep, or benefits derived therefrom, so you will in fact be just as tired as if you had had no sleep. (The body tries to catch up, when it can, by having a larger proportion of deep REM sleep than normal, for a while, though it's still not clear the role that each different type of sleep performs ... perhaps REM is for memory and deep non-REM sleep is for muscle repair.)

[Walsingham]

That would explain why I'm so bloody tired then.
